I've been creating reports and graphs using cfchart tag. I was wondering if there was a way to put those graphs on a powerpoint slide. I've been exporting to PDF and flashpaper but not to PowerPoint.

Any ideas on if this could be done?

maybe, using a java lib like:

jakarta POI (a version comes w/cf)
http://tonicsystems.com/products/builder/api/ costs a bundle

there are probably others a google search will turn up.

That site looks right. However, I have no earthly idea how to implement that class code. I am not even close to a beginner in Java code.

Would you mind giving me a example?

Manually?

Take a screen shot of your web page and paste it into paint. Use paint to get rid of everything but the graph and save the file into a format that's compatible with Powerpoint.

I don't want to teach people how to take screen shots of graphs. There must be a way. I don't mind paying for such a thing if it exists.

I always answer questions if I can help.
